Acrostic Shards

by Silver Shadowbreeze

A collection of RuroKen poetry in the acrostic style. Here, the shards of each character will be spelled out letter by letter until the very end.

1. Rurouni

Rurouni

Running, treading the path not trod,
Under the eyes who feared and knew;
Repenting, bearing the mark he caused,
Over the sword that never slew.
Until his self-brought penitence ends,
Never will the wanderer rest
In peace and calm with good, true friends.

A/N: Because my muse for prose has not yet returned, I decided to try my hand at poetry. Since the RuroKen fandom seems to be almost synonymous with that style of writing, I didn't find it too hard to slip right into it. This is the first in a series of acrostic poetry written by me. Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Here, I tried to reflect the spirit of Kenshin's wandering. Hopefully you will agree that I was able to achieve that essence.
